Imagine watching HVAC, something I don’t do at all, and learning applicable tricks and techniques for my own trade. Damn. Can’t get enough of this channel.
Chris it really seems like you are losing the frustrated old Chris and now are being more calm when doing troubleshooting with your techs. Good job, you will get to live longer. Frustration and stress are killers so it is good to master them while you are still young.
I like that's he's chill, but I also like it when there's a bunch of problems and watching him grind to solution. Makes for good drama haha
@@pigup2 😂 I always hope for something complex just to see how he handles it so I can learn from it!
I find I learn things better when im teaching. Great video.
@@pigup2 it also makes the workday go buy so fast as well. I actually hate work when there's not many calls that keep me troubleshooting.
Chris?
When air conditioning was invented, going into an air conditioned room for the first time after being outside in the heat was probably a surreal experience.
What do you mean. It still is sometimes XD
Try walking into a freezer after being out in 120° heat. It’s even more surreal.
Hello strangers! RUclips recommendations sent me here and I have no background with HVAC. This was a nice video that kept me interested. Keep it up sir! :D
Thanks for watching bud!!
Hope that apprentice takes plenty of notes and pays a shit load of attention. I've learned more from you and your videos then I learned in school!
Right tho? Can't say I havent learned mkre in school but his videos are like you're riding along with a veteran tech and learning on the go its very helpful
As did I. I feel like I learned way more watching these videos (along with on the job experience) than I learned at school. Don’t get me wrong I did learn a lot at school, but don’t feel like I got my money’s worth. Still no regrets though! Thank god I did anyways, I really love this trade.
That apprentice should also compare his notes and memory to the handy videos. Pure gold.
I would totally be the tech you can't give a list of everything to do in one day. I'd need to be pointed at the first site, left to get it done, and then I'd have to call in and ask for the next, to keep me from feeling drowned in the list. Multiple problems, same site, sure, easy. Multiple sites, mental timing nightmare. Thank you for understanding that we exist.
True, you never know how long one job will last. Could be an hour or so, could be all day. The way I see it, the only job that matters is the one I'm on.
I'm a service tech with many years experience but I can still learn watching your videos. Great job and thanks!
The more questions the apprentice can answer without your help, the better. Good teaching and good video.
Great video. Good old California... everybody's ACs on and the voltage is near brown-out... typical summer day!
In all honestly I never seen that in my area lol
Kudos to you. That was very smart of you to send the Tech to do the cleaning before you get there. Great use of your time. Very Good delegation decision.
Now I know I’m not alone this summer with multiple offender carrier RTU failures.
Yesterday we had 129 calls on the books that need ran and only 5 guys to do it. The restaurant industry is absolute insanity right now.
Yeah im about a week or so behind on calls.... they are stacked up and it's gonna be a while before we clear the board.....
@@HVACRVIDEOS dude we are telling some people 2 weeks on reach ins and prep tables. We have been prioritizing walk ins, then ACs, then the tiny stuff/dumb calls
@@jman0870 Triage procedures in the HVAC repair business... Wow
@@KaneYork it’s literally crazy. Our competitor has been telling customers three months 🤷♂️
it's a good thing I do residential not nearly enough of a workload as you Commercial guys have to do Lol
Its nice to see someone taking the time to train someone
I like it when I can see your tech doing some of the work. Show more of it sometime.
Great tool for these type of hot weather busy time calls is a pen and note pad. Write it down right away before our brains forget. Unit #, model #, list of parts, problems.
Remember to take some time off, money is all well and good but getting burnout and having accidents won't help you work better.
Nah. Overtime is the time of the gods, and will set you free.
Great stuff as usual Chris!! Good job training. I hope he realizes how lucky he is
Great video.. Great job on the call
I'm glad you getting more work then last year. Last year was a Killer no work no pay.
Like the extra set of hands !
Training is the key to good work practice.
👍🥃🥃🍺🍺🍺🍇🏌
Stay safe.
Retired(werk'n) keyboard super tech.
Wear your safety glasses.
I train my coworkers like Chris. “Big Picture”
Hi Chris! Love your videos, it's entertaining and a learning new things. I do want to mention that I have seen plenty of LCD displays that do what that Honeywell did at the 24 minute mark. A lot of LCD's do not like being in a hot environment and will do that.
Chris thanks for sharing !
That was some excellent triage. Thanks for sharing with us.
I really enjoy your videos man. Your knowledge has helped me out big time.
im not a tech or anything but i watch his videos for like entertainment pretty much you know hard to explain
Excellent video. Thank you.
after binging these videos I feel I need a teeshirt with "Condenser Fammoter" on it because that's what I hear every time he says "fan motor" XD
♥️❤️From south Africa
Love your videos Chris !!!!
Marvelous video thank you for sharing
great catch... at 13:49 you can see two small arc/flash just to the left of the contactor
Contactors always do that even during normal operation
Shooting a video, trouble shooting,instructing an assistant,you are as cool as a cucumber.Your assistant is lucky getting his knowledge from your guidance.
I have noticed and been frustrated with the multi stage of measurequick as well. Waited forever for the feature for multistage package units. I wonder now if you put probes on both circuits if it would figure out you have both stages running and change your targets. It must. I only have one set of the fieldpiece probes, buying extra probes very soon to try this out. I usually obviously just hook up to one circuit at a time but sure would be helpful to look at 2 , but then there's those very common 4 circuit units lol 😆 where does it end.
I got ya bro, I watch all your vids from beginning to end. You're pretty sharp, and I always like to learn.
If you need a break from that heat, come over to New Zealand. It's the height of winter right now and I'm perched next to my heater :-)
Great job and video like always
Great channel. You are a smart man.
Thanks bud, I try! I will be going live on RUclips this evening 8/30/21 @ 5:PM (pacific) to discuss recent videos and answer questions live from the chat, emails and the video comments. Come over and check it out

You ever keep resistors in your tool bag for LV testing? Was watching an older video where you were dealing from a bad thermostat that you hard time determining if it was the controller or the thermostat. If you keep a resistor, of appropriate value, in your bag you could install it on the wires coming up from the thermostat to isolate the problem; is it the thermostat or the controller loading down the circuit.
This is my first summer doing refrigeration in HVAC. On top of that we also take care of any of the restaurant equipment that's in the kitchen. Yeah I'm experiencing the same time frame work fix everything go to sleep wake up and do it all over again. Haha s***
Have you watched the ice cube air-conditioning commercials? LOL. It's going to out you out of business!.
Outstanding video as usual. You da man!
You mean the small swamp cooler type "portable air conditioners"? I'm not a HVAC tech but I've run into few of those ads and they're hilarious, especially the ones where they're described as some kind of an industry revolution which is poised to "destroy the air conditioner industry" or some nonsense like that, and I just kept sitting there wondering if the laws of physics had changed since the last time I woke up (since it was clearly a swamp cooler and those have pretty strict operational limits). :D
Love your videos man !
You know, in computers, you also have the _two_ seasons (i.e. cool, and hot). ;P From about mid-autumn to about mid-spring, you do temp tightening and overclocking... and then the hot months come, and you evaluate your cooling and airflow. Or, rather... the weather _evaluates them for you._ ;-)
Awesome content thanks
Why am I subscribed to this video I don’t know how it popped up on my screen. Plus I’m watching to the end. Pure interesting a nail biter on “who done it “ mystery…
Thanks bud!! I am going live on RUclips this evening 7/12/21 @ 5:PM (pacific) to talk about my recent uploads and answer questions from the livechat come over and check it out ruclips.net/video/sSZgwI-oduU/видео.html
Your videos have serious made me consider going into the HVACR field. I’ve always been interested in the field, and your videos have shown me what it’s like and helped to make me think if this is something i want to do in the future. Keep up the great videos!
it's hard work because you are outside all day but the money is pretty good
I know this is an old comment but do it. I did the same thing, binged this dude's videos for months and started working in the field. This will be my first summer on my own in my own truck and it's going awesome.
DUDE your wtf moment I feel you on that it was getting me I was too into it as well thinking the same here and there then wtf what’s going on here haha I love this one I can relate yet perfect video of what you do I get why you started recording for your apprentices you do great and I admire that you show good and straight forward yet you actually know how to explain for someone to know what you mean unlike others the way they explain sometimes don’t catch you quick but every one teaches different. 👍👌
Cool video!
Thank you
If you have customers saying "Do it now" that means your prices are not high enough.
Whenever we are slammed I just think I’m at a batting cage just hitting as many balls as I can. It’s all you can do
Nice one 🤙🏽
So they have had the cheap filter companies in there. Second. No reducers for the flex to the register; and registers aren't insulated and will sweat. Oh you should have the slide protectors for your electrical probes for the rookie..this way no accidents to spark out. Stay safe and be well Chris.
24:00 adjust the display contrast in settings
Nice video
Didn’t we do a compressor on a RTU up here ? Lol I’m starting to get to know how work turns up in your part of CA. Every place has its ways things go wrong here in UT managing small business like you we get a lot of condenser fans going bad due to capacitors lately. Specially York (the RTU you hate working on lol, I had to do maintenance on 8 of those today sucked) good video my friend. 👍 BEFORE YOU WATCH PEOPLE!!!
I’ve done a few PM’s on these commercial Carrier WeatherMasters along with some of their Day & Night counterparts, my impression of these machines is “hot garbage.” But the strange thing is, all the Carrier residential units I’ve worked on seem to be of better quality that their commercial junk piles.
Funny I got a Danfoss add on a Sporlan sponsored video 😆
Family first my bro 😎
Try adjusting the contrast on the control with a faded display.
Did you see that spark on the gray wire at 13:55? XD
That was the relay.
Got me some smans yesterday
Does it bug you when you find condenser fan motor reversing leads hanging outside the fan guard and not shielded from UV damage or mischief? And once more, the splices... Just not a good application for wire nuts on main power leads. Would rather see split bolts used.
dam been in the biz for 40 y never knew the X terminal did
13:56 there was an arc
I was the only one who saw a spark coming out of the two brown wires next to the compressor 1 contactor (13:52)??
I get to give you some advice. This is very rare. Most likely your hands are too dry is why the touch screen is giving you a hard time.
Nice to have a second pair of hands, also it appears that you have patience with the new employee . Good information
Question. What type of nitrile-like gloves do you use? I can't seem to find a pair that holds up. They all seem to rip on me. I like thin gloves like nitrile, but not so thin that they rip.
Can you save your gauge readings on that app so if you are on the same unit a year later you can compare?
Yes you can
Number eighteenth and one-twelve viewed sir chriz...👏🕊👍
Informative troubleshooting techniquicz, watchin from ksa to philz.😉
Yay, a bad contactor! Seems like it's been months since a bad contactor.
Want to teach a new guy how to troubleshoot put him in with a bunch of broken down carriers
You better create a hvacr school.
Below 200 volts seems really low, right? I get increased loads during the day drawing it down a little bit yikes. Wouldn't that be pretty hard on equipment?
It's a 208V 3PH system, so 197V is only 5% low, doesn't seem too bad to me, especially in the middle of the day during a high load.
@@Sara-L single phase power is 240 due to the transformer only having one winding with a center tapped neutral to provide 120 volts. The coil is wrapped a specific number of times in order to produce exactly 240 volts. Where as 3 phase systems are all 120 degrees electrically phase shifted from each other. This means all of the sine waves are peaking at different times. Therefore the RMS (Root mean square) you will read between two phases will be lower than the sum of each individual phase. So 3 phase systems are usually 208/460/480 generally in terms of voltage.
@@OramWerd Yep, I don't know how to explain it well but that's it.
@@OramWerd 120 / 208 is also what you get from a Wye connected transformer bank, which is what most utilities install now. With a 120 / 208 Wye bank you don't get 240 at all. With a 120/ 240 delta bank you only get one leg of 208, no three phase 208. The 120 / 240 in residential is from a single phase, split phase transformer.
195-200 volts is ridiculously common on hot days across the country. Is it good for the equipment? Probably not. Is there anything you can do about it? Not really…unless you want to install boost transformers on the equipment with fancy electronics to stop boosting voltage on normal days. That would be ridiculously expensive and I’ve only ever seen it on a $30,000 cryogenic freezer that had a box the size of a playmate cooler 🤣
Excellent Trouble Shooting. 7/9/2021
👍
👍👍👍
Is this " thinking cap" somewhere in the merchandise? I'm in bad need of that.
That thing with screwed up duct work? Come on, that's the new normal.
Another example of cascade failure.
Do you not hear the hiss that starts at 07:00?
Edit: AAHH and that beeeep at 15:23
Chris' hearing is not so good..
The hiss and the beep were just the refrigerant equalizing in the system from the high side to the low side after I had shut it off
Is that measure quik app easy to use and is it compatible with testo gear? Grt
3rd. Love your vids
did someone see that spark at 13.55-13.56?
Money money money. Job security.
As I have said many times before, how does the local electrical utiltiy get away with giving low voltage to its customers? Low voltage causes lazy contactors, extra heat in equipment and burn outs. I would be all over them to get the correct voltage.
It's California, they are lucky to have any power... lol
@@_iLLuSiv3_ hahah was just thinking this!
Good luck with that one pal. California has the fifth largest economy in the world, meaning there are a shit load of people using a shit load of power supplied by a subsidized power company in a state that is always going bankrupt. Do you live in a box? 😂
@@jman0870 and don't forget closing power plants every year and pretending there isn't a problem!
@@rgj5832 glad I'm east coast surrounded by nuke/coal/gas plants brimming with reserve capacity!
Not one limpazzt libtard/commie windmill anywhere.
what is logic board ? What is it for ?
Compressor lockout board, I misspoke when I said logic board
Why on earth would a company put an LCD in their A/C? LCD crystals don't like heat in the first place...and are hard to see without proper backlight...LED is just better and the cost difference isn't that significant...🤦♂️
I was wondering the same thing myself! First I thought, "oh, somebody cranked up the contrast setting," and then it dawned on me that display easily gets blasted with 120°F temps most of its lifetime. "Designed to fail."
Age of unit would be my guess, but what do I know.
If I moved to Cali, would it be possible to do an apprenticeship with you. I have a BSME and some background in residential HVAC and appliance repair. I could send my resume if you need more details🤔; I have tools and what i don't have I can buy.
I'm currently training an apprentice at the moment so it's going to be a while until I'm ready to hire again
@@HVACRVIDEOS no problem buddy, thanks for the prompt response. Love your work, troubleshooting logic, and attention to detail.
You sound and look tired. Summer kicks all our butts.
Not to be mean,but use your helpers or apprentice for everything you can, because, when you get older your hands and body give out on you. I'm having trouble with my hands and thumbs give off a sharp pain and stops me from doing work.
#850 Thumbs uP
Training a tech is the worst job. Most don’t know which end of the meter to use.
And as soon as they start to figure it out they think the grass is greener on the other side, quit, and find out they don’t know shit and their new company thought they did. It’s a vicious cycle 🤣
I know about contactors they are the simplest thing lol but never worked on commercials ac unit only mini splits hut they are inverter drive so no contactor but at work I have to diagnose fix them etc
@@jman0870 what are you paying them, must be low if they quit
@@eclipse369. I’m not a business owner. It’s an observation. Go assume you know what you’re talking about somewhere else.
@@jman0870 i know why I and many others used to quit lol
It was usually work load, boss/employees, pay typically in that order.
Running a single man show so no more of those worries.
🤳🛠️👍🇹🇷
I kinda feel bad for your helper wearing that long sleeve shirt. My butt would be fried wearing long sleeves like that.
Cover up or get burnt up
You would be fried without it.
@@eclipse369. Good point. Either way it sounds like a lose/lose kind of situation.
I just don’t like training people anymore, not even if get paid
Wait till an EMP hits and nobody has AC and the phones don’t work 🤣
Being so HOT, what City are you in?
Push the armature in again…….
Take the trainees gloves first…..🙉🙈🙊
It’s go time with our typical summer rush. But still work the plan. Use that ohm feature on that meter prove those refrigerant switches are closed then your down to compressor lead current. Then teach that new hire you have to clamp that thing on that lead and visually inspect that contractor. The world needs both of you. You have a great mind for HVAC
Teach him Obi 1 !!!!!!!❤️
